Flow designer variables not updating

Morning all

 

Just a quick question. I am creating a flow, but I had to add a variable to the catalog item afterwards. When I try to add it in the flow, it does not appear in the list. Is there a way to refresh the variables?

 

Another thing I would like to know is why are some of the variables greyed out?

 

In the screenshot you will see I added a variable called 'additional information' under 'update record' but it does not display. The variables under number 4 and 5 are all greyed out?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks,

@Thereza Van der I analysed your flow and I have following observations.

1. Not all variables are included in GetCatalogVariables Action

If you are searching for additional details it may not appear in the data pane as the variable is not added in the action Get Catalog Variables.

 

2. Why inputs are greyed out

Flow designer processes steps in a sequential manner, you are trying to use output of steps 4/5 in step 3 (update record) which is not allowed as the steps 4/5 will be processed after the execution of step 3.

 

For step 3, outputs from step 1 or step 2 can be used as an input. Similarly for step 5 outputs from step 1 to 4 can be used.

Thank you Sandeep, you saved me quite some time. And thank you for the clarification, it makes sense now.

 

Have a great day!
